    At the least, you’ve baselessly assumed these two events are related, and at the worst, you’ve taken these trends within two populations groups totaling at most 175 million people, and applied them to 5 billion.

      Quantum mechanics says that everything is related. Ice cream sales and murders rise and fall at the same times each year – during the Summer, when it’s hot outside. Asking why a certain group of people is suddenly taking an interest in another group of people isn’t racist. Especially when there’s been a long history of disinterest among those groups.

      I didn’t make that application. I asked what was driving it. Not why all Asians like Abahamic religions.
